I don't see that allowing a one pitch SP is contrary to randomness.

I agree that the good day and bad day SP situation could be made neutral concerning overall performance.

If they would continue the idea randomness sometimes doesn't produce plausible outcomes then they could have floors and caps on annual performance. Their argument against that is that we could know when a player is going to be better or worse. Yet that's exactly the effect of the good day and bad day situation with SPs.
